The Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean have signed an agreement to conduct a study on the impact of crime in the Second City. The study that will be carried out by a team of researchers from the UCC will look at, among other things, how crime has affected the city's population, commerce, infrastructure and economy. 1, record 1, English, - crime%20impact%20study

Bullet traps can be grouped into three broad categories, deceleration, impact, and friction, though there is some blurring of the dividing line. Deceleration traps use a circular or helical chamber to allow the bullet to spin inside until it has shed sufficient velocity to drop through a recovery port in the bottom. 1, record 2, English, - helical%20chamber

Bosik Consultants Limited operates the National Research Council’s Flight Impact Simulator Facility in Ottawa, ON. The facility houses a large pneumatic cannon (10-inch barrel diameter, measuring approximately 75 feet in length) employed to propel birds to their targets in order to simulate bird strikes with aircraft components. Aircraft components typically impacted include windshields, wings and empennage leading edges. 4, record 3, English, - flight%20impact%20simulator

NRC' s [National Research Council of Canada] flight impact simulators or bird guns have three parts : a storage reservoir(tank at the back) pressurized to the test pressure; a step chamber(half of the reservoir's pressure) ;and a barrel with sabot arrestor. The sabot, which holds the projectile, must withstand the launch, protect the projectile and crush the muzzle arrestor so that nothing but the projectile continues on to the target. Adjusting the thickness of the sabot lining helps various sizes of projectiles to fit in the barrel. The firing mechanism uses a double diaphragm method. Each diaphragm is made of very thin plastic material(Mylar). 2, record 3, English, - flight%20impact%20simulator

Les simulateurs d'impact en vol ou canons à poulets du CNRC [Conseil national de recherches du Canada] comportent trois parties : un réservoir de stockage (à l'arrière) porté à la pression qui servira aux essais; une chambre intermédiaire (à la moitié de la pression du réservoir); et le canon avec son sabot d'arrêt. Le sabot, où est logé le projectile, doit résister au choc du lancement, protéger le projectile et écraser la pièce d'arrêt pour que seul le projectile parte et atteigne la cible. En modifiant l'épaisseur du revêtement du sabot, on peut placer des projectiles de tailles diverses dans le canon. Le mécanisme de mise à feu recourt à un double diaphragme, chacun étant constitué d'une très fine pellicule de plastique (Mylar). 2, record 3, French, - simulateur%20d%27impact%20en%20vol

Thermionic or Electron Impact Detector. In 1957, Ryce and Bryce described a sensitive ionization gauge based on the ionization potentials of vapors. It comprised a filament, a grid, and a plate. The potential difference between the filament and grid accelerated electrons which may ionize any gas in their path. If the grid potential is maintained at a level insufficient to ionize the helium carrier gas... no current flows in the plate circuit. If a potential difference of 18 V is maintained between the filament and the grid, compounds of lower ionization potential in the helium will be ionized and the positive ions produced will yield a cathode current, the current noted being a measure of the ion concentration. Into the modified ionizing chamber, operated at reduced pressure, a small fraction of the column effluent gas stream(less than 0. 5%) was allowed to flow into the gauge through a controlled leak. Over a 0. 02-l. 5 mm Hg pressure range, the sensitivity was approximately proportional to the pressure, and sensitivities in the range of 10[ minus superscript 12] mole were claimed. 1, record 5, English, - electron%20impact%20detector
